Cooking
• Food must always be completely dry in order to avoid overflowing. This will also
prolong tlie use of tlie oil and give a crisper finish to tlie food.
• As a general guide raw foods need a higher coolUng temperatiure tlian pre-cooked
foods.
• Do not overload the basket (s) as it may cause a drop of temperature tliat may
leave die food greasy
• Cook vour food dioroughly Remember that yoiu: food may begin to tiu’n golden
brow'll before it is cooked dirough.
• Ai'oid leasing food to drain for too long in die basket as die food may become soft
and lose its crunchiness.
• Select your cooking utensils widi care. Do not use utensils diat may melt Metal
utensils become hot and dierefore should hase insulated handles. Wlien using
metal utensils, take care not to damage die non-stick coadng of die bowl.

steam. Use caudon when opening die lid. as trapped steam will be vervhot.
IMPORTANT: Never fill the basket more than VI to 2/3 lull of food(1/4
to 1/2 is best), since this will cause the temperature of the oil to
decrease below the optimal frying temperature and result in foods
that are not as light or crispy as they can be.
